QA automation setup guidance for Vue Storefront/Alokai demo

[Divyoth1234]

Hi team! I’m a QA engineer working on an automated UI test suite (using testRigor) for a Vue Storefront/Alokai instance.

Before I proceed, I’d like to align on the right setup and scope as suggested in the Contribution Guide.

Scope / what I’m planning:

1. Deploy a remote demo storefront (frontend + middleware)
2. Use the remote base URL to create regression tests for core e-commerce flows:
   search → category → PDP → cart → checkout → login/logout

Questions:

1. What’s the recommended way to spin up a stable demo instance for QA (Alokai CLI project vs cloning monorepo)?
2. Which integration/backend is best for stable demo data suitable for automation?
3. Are there any known unstable UI areas in the default theme where text/selectors change frequently?

Thanks! Happy to follow any preferred process.
